***For those of you reading my profile in regards to the current swap I am hosting I would like to say a few things. No one is forced to join this swap. If you do not feel comfortable with the way I have set this swap up, please move on. I assure you that my best intentions for this swap are first and foremost. I thought this swap would give interested people an opportunity to converse with someone that is willing to talk about things that are considered "taboo" in most societies, but also things that need to be discussed. It is a chance to share ideas, to hear another persons view points, and to perhaps be enlightened. This swap was not created to start a debate. I hope you consider joining, and if you disagree with everything you've read, it is my hope that you quietly move on. Thanks :)

Hi everyone,

I am a happily, married mom of 3 beautiful boys. I live in Ontario, Canada. I am a homeschooling mom. I enjoy penpalling, planner decorating, arts/crafts, anything stationary, and crocheting (although Im still a newb). I am an active and loyal penpaller. I am looking forward to swapping and can't wait to get started. I am willing to swap regionally and internationally. You do not have to worry about me neglecting my obligations as a swapper. I thoroughly enjoy giving and receiving snail-mail.

Cheers,

Christine

I love a large variety of music. Music is so awesome because it caters to whatever mood you may be in. I raised in the 80's by young parents and was heavily influenced by classic rock/heavy metal. This is but a few of my favs.

Classic rock: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Kiss, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest Favourite Band: The Tragically Hip

Obviously my family :)

All things purple.

Stationary: I enjoy all kinds of stationary and stationary themes. Antique, nature inspired, and my new obsession Kawaii and Japanese stationary in general.

Washi: Oh, how I LOVE washi! lol

Stickers, stamps, and sticky notes of all kinds.

Planning: I currently have a Kikki. k planner which I use and adore. I am waiting on an Erin Condren to arrive. I have decided after watching about 100 youtube videos, I'm finally going to join the hype. I like decorating my planner in all kinds of ways, but mostly I enjoy planning as an organization tool for life.

Pens, pencils, markers, highlighters: I adore all kinds of writing utensils. My favs are probably Sharpie and Steadtler, but I'm dying to get my hands on a Coleto.

Cooking: I am German, French-Canadian, and Native by ancestry and I love to cook all kinds of food. I am inspired by many different cultures. That being said, I like all kinds of teas. I'm pretty much willing to try any kind at least once. I also love my "morning pick-me-up cup of coffee" :)

My Best fur friends: I have an adorable, little shihtzu cross that I love to bits. Her name is Pippi, and she's my little side kick. I also have a 12 year old tabby. She is fat, lazy, and spoiled (the perrrrrfect cat lol). Her name is Rocko and she's the boss of this house lol. They are my only girls (I have 3 sons lol).

This is a bit about my interests. What can I say? I'm a girlie, stationary junkie (self-admitted of course lol)
